By networking them through a router. Search online for information on how to do this.
Additional optionsIf installing a router is not feasible, you can also network the computers together, with one serving the job of router. Also, hubs are a slightly less expensive piece of equipment (though you might need an additional IP address from your cable provider).

∙ 13y agoYou hook two computers to one modem by getting a router. Then you hook the router to the modem and you hook each computer to the router. You can also run your printer from the router. If your computer has bluetooth or wireless, modern routers can communicate with your computer or printer in a different room.

∙ 12y agoDo you mean a dial up telephone modem, cable modem, or DSL modem? Technically a cable and DSL modem is not a modem, it is a transceiver (transfer/receiver), and doesn't module and demodulate phone signals like an old school modem. Completely different technology.
For a dial up modem, you don't. If you are trying to share your internet connection, you need network cards in both machines, and if you are using Windows 98 or higher, you can use what is called Internet Connection Sharing. Google how it is done.
If you are using cable or DSL, look into a router with a 4 port switch. You can also do internet connection sharing, but using a router is much easier. Some cable and DSL modems already have this built in. Some do, some don't. If not, plug a 4 (or more) port switch into the cable modem, then your computers into the switch. There's not a whole lot more to it than that.
